NOURISH-T+: A Randomized Control Trial Targeting Parents in Promoting Healthy Eating and Exercise Behaviors in Pediatric Cancer Survivors With Overweight/Obesity
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating NOURISH-T+ and Brief NOURISH-T+ for Obesity, Childhood and 2 related conditions. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 520 participants across 10 sites.
Detailed Summary
Pediatric cancer survivors are at an increased risk of excessive weight gain and reduced exercise behaviors with the potential for this risk to worsen over time. With over 80% of pediatric cancer patients living to adulthood, many pediatric cancer survivors experience long-term health consequences such as heart disease - the leading cause of death in this population. The purpose of this clinical research study is to teach parents/caregivers skills that will help prevent and reduce the problems of obesity in childhood cancer survivors. In this study, parents have the opportunity to participate in one of two web-based groups in which parents in either group will learn valuable information to improve the health of their child and of themselves.

Interventions
NOURISH-T+ (Nourishing Our Understanding of Role Modeling to Improve Support and Healthy - Transitions) is a 6 session, psychoeducational program designed to teach parents of childhood cancer survivors with overweight/obesity knowledge and skills to improve the health and lifestyle behaviors for their child and for themselves.
Enhanced Usual Care (or Brief NOURISH-T+) is an abbreviated version of the full NOURISH-T+ intervention in which parents are engaged in a one-time information session to also learn knowledge and skills to improve the health and lifestyle behaviors for their child and for themselves.
